The content may not be appropriate for sensitive viewers or children, as we use medical education grade images, videos, and text that some may find disturbing. Austere Environments Most health care provided in these settings is the same as in a conventional setting, but some is not. The appropriate use of this care depends not only on the environment, but also on the available resources, provider skills, and the tactical situation.
